There’s also a question on the other Joseph, Shamar Joseph, who’s been injured with shin splints and, quite rightly. taken out of the present series. But we’ve heard no report on what treatment he is receiving under the auspices of Cricket West Indies.

Now, shin splints are a problem with fast bowlers who really need the correct treatment immediately if they are to recover 100 per cent. If the injury is not properly handled, Shamar Joseph could lose some of his genuine speed and come back as a medium-pace bowler.

Here’s hoping the West Indies board would put out a statement soon enlightening the Caribbean people of what has been done to ensure that he is getting the best treatment possible towards his future.


I remember Ravi Rampaul having shin splints very early in his international career..he was out of cricke for quite some time....when he did come back he had lost pace and looked overweight...in fact he never wen back to his pre injury weigh.

I hope Shamar has a mentor/manager to guide him.....CWI does not have good history of looking after injured players.
